In a stunning moment during his confirmation hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to end all federal funding for National Institutes of Health (NIH) research that involves the bodies of aborted babies.
Kennedy, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), made his stance clear when questioned by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) about the practice.
And just like that, the left lost its mind.

Trump’s Pro-Life Policies Back in Action
Sen. Hawley brought up a crucial point—under Trump’s first term, HHS stopped all new NIH research that used fetal tissue from elective abortions.
But when Biden took office? That ban was reversed faster than you could say “radical left.”
Now, with Trump’s return on the horizon, the fight to protect unborn life is back in full force. When Hawley asked if Kennedy would reinstate Trump’s pro-life policy, Kennedy didn’t hesitate:
“Yes.”
That single word sent shockwaves through the pro-abortion left.
RFK Jr.: “Every Abortion Is a Tragedy”
Though Kennedy has leaned pro-choice, he didn’t shy away from aligning himself with Trump’s pro-life vision.
“I agree with President Trump that every abortion is a tragedy. I agree with him that we cannot be a moral nation if we have 1.2 million abortions a year.”
In an even bigger rebuke to the radical abortion lobby, Kennedy made it clear that the states should control abortion laws, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington.
He also vowed to enforce Trump’s key priorities, including:
- Ending late-term abortions
- Protecting conscience exemptions for doctors and nurses
- Cutting off federal funding for abortions both domestically and abroad
“I serve at the pleasure of the president—I’m going to implement his policies.”
With that, Kennedy just made it clear—he’s not backing down, and the pro-life movement just gained a powerful new ally.
Leftist Outrage Incoming in 3…2…1…
It’s only a matter of time before the usual suspects—Planned Parenthood, radical feminists, and their media lapdogs—start their meltdown over this announcement.
But the reality is simple: The Biden administration abandoned morality, pumping taxpayer money into abortion research while ignoring actual healthcare needs.
Now, with Trump and Kennedy at the helm, that nightmare is over. The left can scream all they want, but aborted babies will no longer be used as lab experiments on the taxpayer’s dime.
This is just the beginning—and with Trump leading the charge, expect more wins for the sanctity of life in America.
